I actually had a question regarding the America's, is it alright if we have some fantastical wildlife to hamper colonization efforts?
I was thinking giant killer worms or something of the sort alongside the Native humans.

Eh, like I said it wasn't really that big of a sticking point to me. I've distanced myself from the school of thought where the player with the best toys and biggest most awesome military is the top dog. It gets old, and I do like that you've stuck to your principle there. One thing that I like to do, and that I actually picked up from an old RP partner, is to avoid absolutes when describing anything about your nation. Things like "the most" and such, it leaves more room for other people to stand beside you, rather than below or above you. All in all, it's a solid app in my opinion with only a few little things that stand out to me personally.
Wow. Just.... Wow. Come the fuck on people, this is why the NRP section is a cesspit. Get off your bias, your grudges and whatever preconceived notions of "the best RP" it is you have, and try not to shit up yet another NRP. Mindlessly bickering over who has what grudge, or trying to foist some inane idea unto the GM and make yourself the victim only drags everyone else down.
@PolishKing I read over your app from top to bottom, and I'll say exactly what it is that bothers Duck, and it's something I noticed yet passed over. The military section reads a bit strong, with a pretty tight focus on showing how advanced the nation is militarily. Most of it I just apathied past, as it doesn't really pose a concern to me, and I know that sheer technological power doesn't equate to military victory in any sense. My only real concern is that you seem to have set yourself up as completely self-reliant when it comes to the fantasy-resource. I too have a technocracy type of nation, but leave them to be more reliant on the outside world for their resources. What's the fun in having wonderous technologies and such if you have absolutely no need to trade for the resources that power them and build relations with foreign countries? Furthermore, I think it sets a dangerous precedent for one person to say how they have "large reserves" of "x", as in the past I have seen multiple apps following such NS' which state mostly the same. Regardless of how amazing this resource is, it is finite(At least I think it is...) and so we can't all have large mines of it. In truth, I would prefer that no player nation have a large source of the resource, and instead leave it to NPC nations so as to see about fostering a greater narrative. Beyond that, I don't see this RP as a game to be won, and I sincerely hope that no one else is here under that assumption. If you are, get out and go one section lower or two sections higher. Arena or Table-top games will be more suitable to you, and probably more welcoming to the attitude of who has the bigger e-penis.

Finland can try me.
<Snipped quote by PolishKing>
Officially claiming Finland now. Bring it on, you damn Ruskies!
<Snipped quote by Chairman Stein>
Awesome. Guess it's time to make South America STRONK!
I am going to be South Korea then.
It's going to be interesting to try to prevent war from happening.
Considering either Japan or Finland. Because on one hand, I get to be right next to all the exiting stuff like China and North Korea. On the other hand, I could bring that Finnish hunter lady out of the void that is being in a half-finished story and put her in. I guess it all depends on just how aggressive this RP's Putin is going to be.
Is it too late to claim Brazil?
Pity that the UK is taken. If the guy doesn't show up, would you mind awfully if I took over?
Anyway, could I claim Greece please?
I plan to either:
- Have the right-wing Golden Dawn stage a coup/gain public support and go all hyper-nationalist on everyone.
- Have a sensible government come in, that can interact with people without putting them off (*ahem* not Tsipras *ahem*)
